7/10
Another Hollywood remake, but very watchable
3 August 2007
It is a feel-good, inspirational, coming-of-age(?), teenage movie with all the typical school rivalries, first crushes and other stuff of which school days are made of. Surprisingly, it is quite well presented, without extreme theatrical stunts typical of Bollyood. All actors look convincing in their roles as young students. Perhaps this is so because it extensively borrows/copies from 1979 Hollywood hit 'Breaking Away'. Why, even the hairdo of the hero's elder brother is ditto same as in the original! (See the pics on IMDb profile of Breaking Away).

Still, quite watchable and has a couple of melodic songs as well. It will especially appeal to school going teens or those of you who want to get nostalgic about the days of yore.
